What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in aviation jobs.
- Valid FAA certificate or rating appropriate to the position applied for
- Minimum flight hours or maintenance experience specified by the employer
- Ability to pass an FAA first, second, or third class medical examination
- Proficiency with aviation maintenance, dispatch, or flight planning software
- High school diploma required, associate or bachelor's degree preferred for technical roles
- Willingness to work rotating shifts, nights, weekends, and holidays as required
Tips for Your Aviation Job Search
List every certificate you hold
Hiring managers in aviation filter by certification before reading anything else. Put your FAA certificates, ratings, and inspection authorizations at the top of your resume, spelled out exactly as they appear on the certificate, so automated systems flag your application correctly.
Target openings by aircraft type
Aviation employers hire for specific airframes, not just job titles. Search using the aircraft type you have hours or experience on, such as Boeing 737, Cessna 172, or Bell 407, to surface roles where your logbook or maintenance record is directly relevant.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists aviation openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Quantify flight hours and sign-offs
Vague experience descriptions get passed over fast. State your total hours, PIC hours, and instrument time in exact figures for pilot roles, or list the number and scope of sign-offs and inspections you have completed for maintenance and quality assurance positions.
Prepare for a practical skills evaluation
Most aviation employers add a hands-on check ride, simulator evaluation, or bench test to the interview process. Ask the recruiter what equipment or scenarios will be covered so you can review the relevant procedures, checklists, or troubleshooting steps before you walk in.
Negotiate base pay against your medical class
Your FAA medical certificate class directly affects which roles you can hold and how long you can hold them. When discussing compensation, factor in the renewal cycle and any out-of-pocket medical costs tied to maintaining your class, and raise that context when negotiating your offer.
Aviation Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most aviation workers?
The companies hiring the most aviation workers right now include Joby Aviation, Duncan Aviation, and FTAI Aviation, with the largest share of openings in California, Florida, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Demand is particularly active for maintenance technicians, pilots, and ground operations roles.
How many aviation jobs are remote?
About 7% of aviation openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, which is low compared to most industries because most roles require physical presence at an aircraft, airport, or facility. The sub-areas most compatible with remote work include aviation safety analysis, flight operations planning, regulatory compliance, and technical writing for maintenance manuals.
How do you become an aviation professional?
Start by identifying the specific discipline you want to enter, whether that is piloting, aircraft maintenance, air traffic control, or dispatch. For pilot and mechanic paths, enroll in an FAA-approved training program to earn the relevant certificate. Log the required hours or hands-on experience, pass the written and practical tests, and obtain your FAA certificate before applying to entry-level positions.
Can you get an aviation job with little experience?
Yes, entry points exist in ground handling, ramp operations, fueling, and line service roles that require only a valid driver's license and the ability to pass a background check. Use these positions to build familiarity with airport operations and safety culture while you pursue the certifications needed for higher-level roles. Many employers promote from within once you hold the required credentials.
What does the aviation interview process look like?
Most aviation interviews begin with a phone or video screen covering your certificate history, experience, and availability. A technical interview or written assessment follows, testing your knowledge of regulations, procedures, or systems relevant to the role. Pilot and mechanic candidates typically complete a simulator session or practical bench evaluation before a final offer is extended.
Where can I find and apply to aviation jobs?
You can find and apply to aviation jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States in one place. Search by role, location, or specialization to see what is available, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background and certificates.
